Considering how many awesome cabover trucks there are, I feel like they missed a chance to be the same practical shape as NASA’s concept without losing design points. Example: this kickass Tatra

Because they’re built from generic truck platforms. You’d need a custom fancy frame to go lower compared to a flat ladder frame.

Isn’t it pronounced “porsh” in English? Sort of like how “bruschetta” is different in English and Italian.

Perhaps a slight design tweak would make it more obvious which side is up? Something like this

Hammer heads are hardened. Hardened metals are more brittle, which means there’s a chance that a bit can fly off the side of the head if you hit it just right.

I’d buy that just for the column shift.

This is no different than any other plans for building a gun. We have laws for that already.

Finally you have to be ready for certain features to not work on your phone, such as bluetooth or wifi.

What's wrong is that you can't remove it.

Thick A-pillars aren't so bad if you can see through them. (2001 Volvo SCC)

of course not. this stuff is for keeping bacteria from growing back long after decontamination

Probably, but don't we have some generally accepted idea of what a robot sounds like, too?

Since the voice is synthetic in the first place, why does it have to be a man's voice or a woman's voice? Wouldn't it make more sense to generate the voice based on a series of optimal characteristics that you determine experimentally, rather than basing it off a human voice style?

You'd need to use energy to push it down.

Nonsense, who wouldn't want a missile switch for their car?

Can this identify people? Might help for those of us that are terrible at faces.

The pressure inside an airplane is maintained at 8000 ft (750mbar), but the pressure at cruise altitude is more like 300mbar. So every flight the whole airplane gets squeezed from the inside out by 500mbar of pressure (= 50kPa \ 7.5psi).

Ads usually only get clicked on once out of every few hundred views, but that's enough.

Aren't dead people compostable?
